Step No.1

For starters, survey and look around! No, seriously, before you even try and undertake the challenge of breaking into your neighbor’s home, pause for a second and just take a moment to survey your surroundings. Or…the house’s surroundings. This will allow you to get a better understanding of where you are and where you need to go. Vital for your success early on.

Step No.2

Run! *Awolnation plays in the background*

Recall step number 1. This is why you surveyed the house in the first place. Knowing where to move, where to run and hide will make you all the more efficient when it comes to avoiding that creepy man. After all, a good break-in artist knows his ins and outs better than his own home.

Step No.3

Cutting the power will make it all the easier to break in, move around, and generally achieve your goals much faster and more efficiently. Not only this, but you will be much harder to detect with the power supply is out.

For the ones using a headset, this will also allow you to hear the man snore, thus making it easier to plan.

Step No.4

One of the best tips for this game is to just gather like it’s Minecraft. Pick up anything you can, leaving 1 slot in your inventory free. Chances are, you’re going to get caught sooner or later. This will minimize those chances and you will be able to escape quicker if you have something you can break a window with.

Step No.5

Cross the street. You can tell we’re all professional gamers by looking at the tips and tricks we give to our readers.

In all seriousness, crossing the street when things get hairy is your best bet not to get caught. Break the window if you need to, jump out, and run like hell. Then you can take another go at it. Statistically speaking, you are bound to succeed once.
